Vote for your Local Cycling Hero

Published 8 August 2013

Cycling is about more than medals and glory. It’s about fun, freedom – and for some people it’s about extraordinary commitment.

This summer we’re turning the spotlight on the unsung stars of cycling – the people who give up their time and energy to help and inspire others to get the most out of their riding. From all the entries we received, we’ve shortlisted 24 dedicated individuals, each playing a pivotal role in their community by inspiring others to get the most out of their bike riding.

Double World Champion Becky James pays tribute to our finalists:

‘Volunteers are essential to cycling in this country, without them we wouldn’t have a sport and we certainly wouldn’t have Olympic and World Champions. I know how much volunteers have helped my career, so it’s great to see so many people being recognised for giving up their time for cycling. I’d urge everyone to get behind their Local Cycling Heroes and vote!’

To vote for your Local Cycling Hero, just click the ‘tweet’ and ‘like’ buttons at the top of their page. Voting closes on Friday 30 August. The individuals with the most votes will be crowned British Cycling’s Local Cycling Hero for their region and will win some very special prizes.

British Cycling and Sky have come together to help get even more people riding their bikes and falling in love with cycling. However you ride, we've created a whole range of ways for you to get involved - from big traffic-free events, to local guided rides; from women-only rides and support, to tips, ideas and great routes.
